PROCEDURAL TRAINING THE ‘UAB WAY’: SKILL ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE
In an effort to reduce variation in procedural performance and promote
patient safety, The Office of Interprofessional Simulation for Innovative
Clinical Practice (OIPS) is seeking to work with clinical experts to
develop and promote the “UAB Way” for procedural skill acquisition
and maintenance. In collaboration with content experts, simulation-
based procedural training curricula are in development, based on the
Learn-See-Practice-Prove-Do-Maintain procedural skills acquisition
framework. Central line insertion training using this curricular model was
piloted in 2016 and continued throughout 2017, targeting pre-licensure
and practicing physician and advanced practice provider learners.
Comprehensive Vascular Access Team (CVAT) training for device
insertion, including ultrasound-guided peripheral catheters, external
jugular venous catheters, and peripherally inserted central catheters
(PICC), was piloted in early 2017 and continues to evolve. Additional
collaborations are in progress with vascular surgery, perfusion, nursing,
anesthesia, orthopaedic surgery, and oral/maxillofacial surgery, with
the goal of developing standardized procedural skill acquisition and
maintenance curricula for both novice and advanced practitioners.
